Feng Lingtian was dumbfounded. "How is this possible? This method is only passed down to the Sect Master. Now, I am the only one in the entire sect who knows it. There is no one else who can do it."
Lin Tiandao: "Don't you know how to teach it to others? There are so many Half-Step Great Emperors here, you can just teach two of them."
Feng Lingtian said: "That won't work. How can we pass on our sect's secret techniques to outsiders?"
Lin Tiandao: "Nothing is impossible. I want you to pass it to me. Do you dare to refuse? If you dare to refuse, I will beat you to death."
Feng Lingtian: “…”
Lin Tiandao said, "So, you'd better tell us the secret method obediently and don't follow the sect's rules. Those so-called rules were meant to be broken from the moment they were established."
Feng Lingtian was completely speechless. What kind of nonsense was this? However, the bigger the fist, the more power the authority. He was furious, but he didn't dare to refute.
"But... this secret method has side effects. Not only will your cultivation level not improve at all, but your lifespan will also be depleted. I'm afraid no one would be willing to do that."
Feng Lingtian wanted to struggle a little longer.
Lin Tiandao said, "I told you you're stupid, but you still refuse to admit it! Who told you to tell them there were side effects? Wouldn't it be better if you just kept quiet? With your intelligence, how did you become the sect leader?"
Feng Lingtian was scolded and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Lin Tian waved his hand and removed the isolation barrier.
Everyone looked at Lin Tian and Feng Lingtian eagerly, wanting to know what they had just said.
Lin Tian coughed lightly and said, "I just discussed it with Feng Lingtian and decided to pass the secret method to two of you."
"Opportunities are rare and will never come again. There is only one chance to enter the imperial realm. If you miss it, you will never get it again!"
"Of course, not everyone can do this. Only those who have reached the level of a Half-Step Great Emperor are qualified."
"Who among you wants to learn? Raise your hands and I'll choose the best one."
Everyone looked at each other, and no one raised their hand.
Lin Tian's face darkened. "What's wrong with you? Don't you want the chance to enter the Emperor Realm?"
Still no one raised their hands, and those half-step emperors even lowered their heads, looking at each other with indifference, as if it had nothing to do with them.
"This method of borrowing bones to become an emperor, just from the name you can tell it is a secret method of the devil, don't touch it!"
"Entering the Emperor Realm so easily will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences."
"If they are willing to teach such a world-shattering secret technique, there must be some conspiracy. I can't be the first to do so."
"That secret technique requires replacing all bones in the body. It's truly evil. Even if you step into the Emperor Realm, it's probably not a good thing. You absolutely cannot learn it!"
…
Jun Xiaoyao and the others were in a state of confusion. Everyone was silent, each with their own little plans in mind.
Seeing that no one raised their hand, Lin Tian couldn't help but frown.
No matter who is behind the scenes, he will not let the other party succeed.
It's impossible to revive the emperor's bones to deal with him. He will just intercept them halfway and let someone borrow the bones to become an emperor, and get the combat power of the three emperors for free.
This is a win-win situation, and he is determined to do it.
As for the problem of the blood curse becoming ineffective after the three half-step emperors were promoted to emperors, he had another way to solve it.
Lin Tian said: "Since no one has taken the initiative, I will call the names."
The Half-Step Great Emperors shuddered. Was he going to use force? Forcing a secret method on someone else was bound to be problematic.
"Don't point at me!"
"Don't point at me!"
…
Jun Xiaoyao and the others were shouting wildly in their hearts, stealing glances at Lin Tian from time to time, then quickly looking away, fearing that they would be called out.
Lin Tiandao: "Ha Bu Tong, come out."
Ha Butong's face turned pale. He said tremblingly, "I... I'm not very smart. I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it in a short time. How about... let's find someone else?"
Lin Tian said expressionlessly: "Stop talking nonsense and come out quickly."
Ha Butong's face looked extremely ugly. He was very resistant, but his life and death were in Lin Tian's hands. He had no capital to resist and could only walk out reluctantly.
The other half-step emperors were secretly delighted. As one of the two places was reduced, they immediately felt a lot more at ease.
Lin Tian said again: "Jun Xiaoyao, you come out too."
"Ah, why me?"
Jun Xiaoyao’s face turned pale.
Lin Tiandao: "Because you are handsome, is that okay?"
Jun Xiaoyao: "...Actually, I'm not the most handsome. Dugu Han is much more handsome than me."
Dugu Han stared at him, "Jun Xiaoyao! Stop talking nonsense. How am I more handsome than you? I'm so ugly."
"I'm uglier than you!"
"Nonsense! I'm obviously much uglier than you!"
"I'm uglier!"
"I'm uglier!"
…
You two, half-step emperors, are exchanging sharp words, trying to embarrass each other and refusing to give in to each other.
Everyone was stunned.
Is this a Half-Step Emperor? Why does it feel like a quarrel between hooligans? And they're arguing about who's uglier. Is uglier the more glorious?
In order to avoid learning the secret method, the two of them were willing to sacrifice their reputation.
Lin Tian's mouth twitched, and he almost laughed out loud. He said, "Stop fighting. Jun Xiaoyao is yours."
Jun Xiaoyao's face immediately darkened.
Dugu Han laughed heartily, his face full of pride.
Lin Tiandao: "What are you laughing at? If you laugh again, I will replace you."
Dugu Han quickly shut his mouth.
Lin Tian looked at Jun Xiaoyao and Ha Butong and said, "Don't look so dead. Not everyone has the opportunity to become an emperor. Cherish it. I know what you are worried about. Aren't you afraid of sequelae? To tell you the truth, there are indeed sequelae."
The two hurriedly asked, "What are the sequelae?"
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Feng Lingtian was puzzled. Didn't he say he wanted to keep it a secret? Why did he reveal it?
Lin Tiandao said, "After becoming an emperor through the secret method, there will be two major side effects. One is that your cultivation will stagnate and will never be able to improve again. The other is that your lifespan will be reduced to less than a hundred years, and you may die of old age in seclusion."
Everyone was shocked.
Jun Xiaoyao and Ha Butong turned even paler.
It would be fine if their cultivation stagnated, but even if the two of them worked hard to cultivate for their entire lives, they would most likely not be able to enter the Emperor Realm. It didn't matter whether their cultivation could be improved or not.
But the key issue is the lifespan. With the cultivation level of the two half-step emperors, as long as they are not killed, they can live for at least thousands of years. The fact that their lifespan has suddenly dropped to less than a hundred years is unacceptable to anyone.
Jun Xiaoyao said with a gloomy expression, "Lord Emperor, if that's the case, I won't learn that secret technique."
Ha Butong also shook his head and said, "I don't want to learn either. I think it's good now. Whether I can enter the Emperor Realm or not is not important. I just want to live longer."
Lin Tiandao said, "I'm not negotiating with you. If you do as I say, you can live for another hundred years. If you refuse, today will be your last day in this world."
"Death is inevitable, so what if I live a hundred years less?"
"Kill me if you want!"
Jun Xiaoyao and Ha Butong were glaring with anger. Having been forced to this point, they had no more scruples.
